LAFAYETTE — Twenty-seven-year-old Matthew Dylan Tribble was more than helpful when police said he arranged for an undercover officer to buy meth. He was less helpful when Lafayette police arrested him Wednesday morning.

In September and October 2018, Tribble arranged for an undercover officer to buy meth, at one point even riding with the officer to apartments in the 2400 block of Northwestern Avenue so he could pick up the drugs for the officer.

Prosecutors charged Tribble on April 4 with two counts of dealing methamphetamine and one count of possession of meth.

When two Lafayette police officers saw Tribble walking in the area of 18th and Cason streets at 9:35 a.m. Wednesday, they stopped to arrest him, and he resisted, according to police.

Officers tried to wrestle Tribble to the ground to cuff him while he resisted, according to police. In the process, the two officers suffered minor cuts to their arms, according to police.

This added additional charges of battery on a police officer and resisting law enforcement.

Tribble remained incarcerated at the Tippecanoe County Jail on Thursday.
